Alice discovered astrology in her late teens when she was browsing the book section of a discount department store and found a book that had much more astrology detail in it than simple Sun sign descriptions.

Bells of recognition went off immediately. She purchased the book and knew she had to have more.

Alice also held credentials as a realtor for twenty-two years in the Commonwealth of Virginia and earned Real Estate Appraisal credentials and certifications in diverse real estate specialties. Her knowledge of feng shui led to the development of numerous workshops and seminars, including those that provided realtors with tips for selling homes and working with buyers.

Alice specializes in relationships of all types that call for solid problemsolving advice to get to the core of issues and give clients options for meeting critical needs. Her clients seek solutions in business practices, career and change management, real estate, relationships, and training. Numerous websites and publications have featured her articles, including StarIQ, Astral Hearts, Llewellyn, Meta Arts, Inner Self, and ShareItLiveIt. Quotes from her work on relationships have appeared in books, publications, training materials, calendars, planners, audio tapes, and world-famous quotes lists. Often cited is “Each relationship you have with another reflects the relationship you have with yourself.”

Alice’s Llewellyn material on relationships has appeared in Something More by Sarah Ban Breathnach and Through God’s Eyes by Phil Bolsta and on Oprah’s website.

Alice is available for writing books and articles for publishers, newspapers, and magazines, as well as conducting workshops and doing radio or TV interviews. Contact her at DeVilleAA@aol.com or alice.deville27 @gmail.com.

How to Use This Book

by Kim Rogers-Gallagher Hi there! Welcome to the 2022 edition of Llewellyn’s Sun Sign Book. This book centers on Sun sign astrology—that is, the set of general attributes and characteristics that those of us born under each of the twelve particular Sun signs share. You’ll find descriptions of your sign’s qualities tucked into your sign’s chapter, along with the type of behavior you tend to exhibit in different life situations—with regard to relationships, work situations, and the handling of money and possessions, for example.

Oh, and there’s a section that’s dedicated to good old-fashioned fun, too, including what will bring you joy and how to make it happen.

There’s a lot to be said for Sun sign astrology. First off, the Sun’s sign at the time of your birth describes the qualities, talents, and traits you’re here to study this time around. If you believe in reincarnation, think of it as declaring a celestial major for this lifetime. Sure, you’ll learn other things along the way, but you’ve announced to one and all that you’re primarily interested in mastering this one particular sign. Then, too, on a day when fiery, impulsive energies are making astrological headlines, if you’re a fiery and/or impulsive sign yourself—like Aries or Aquarius, for example—it’s easy to imagine how you’ll take to the astrological weather a lot more easily than a practical, steady-handed sign like Taurus or Virgo.

Obviously, astrology comes in handy, for a variety of reasons. Getting to know your “natal” Sun sign (the sign the Sun was in when you were born) can most certainly give you the edge you need to ace the final and move on to the next celestial course level—or basically to succeed in life, and maybe even earn a few bonus points toward next semester. Using astrology on a daily basis nicely accelerates the process.

Now, there are eight other planets and one lovely Moon in our neck of the celestial woods, all of which also play into our personalities. The sign that was on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth—otherwise known as your Ascendant, or rising sign—is another indicator of your personality traits. Honestly, there are all kinds of cosmic factors, so if it’s an in-depth, personal analysis you’re after, a professional astrologer is the only way to go—especially if you’re curious about relationships, past lives, future trends, or even the right time to schedule an important life event. Professional astrologers calculate your birth chart—again, the

2022_SunSignBook.indd 6

4/5/21 10:26 AM

Llewellyn’s 2022 Sun Sign Book 7

“natal” chart—based on the date, place, and exact time of your birth— which allows for a far more personal and specific reading. In the meantime, however, in addition to reading up on your Sun sign, you can use the tables on pages 8 and 9 to find the sign of your Ascendant. (These tables, however, are approximate and tailored to those of us born in North America, so if the traits of your Ascendant don’t sound familiar, check out the sign directly before or after.)

There are three sections to each sign chapter in this book. As I already mentioned, the first section describes personality traits, and while it’s fun to read your own, don’t forget to check out the other Sun signs. (Oh, and do feel free to mention any rather striking behavioral similarities to skeptics. It’s great fun to watch a Scorpio’s reaction when you tell them they’re astrologically known as “the sexy sign,” or a Gemini when you thank them for creating the concept of multitasking.)

The second section is entitled “The Year Ahead” for each sign.

Through considering the movements of the slow-moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), the eclipses, and any other outstanding celestial movements, this segment will provide you with the big picture of the year—or basically the broad strokes of what to expect, no matter who you are or where you are, collectively speaking.

The third section includes monthly forecasts, along with rewarding days and challenging days, basically a heads-up designed to alert you to potentially easy times as well as potentially tricky times.

At the end of every chapter you’ll find an Action Table, providing general information about the best time to indulge in certain activities.

Please note that these are only suggestions. Don’t hold yourself back or rush into anything your intuition doesn’t wholeheartedly agree with— and again, when in doubt, find yourself a professional.

Well, that’s it. I hope that you enjoy this book, and that being aware of the astrological energies of 2022 helps you create a year full of fabulous memories!

Astrology Basics Natal astrology is done by freeze-framing the solar system at the moment of your birth, from the perspective of your birth place. This creates a circular map that looks like a pie sliced into twelve pieces. It shows where every heavenly body we’re capable of seeing was located when you arrived. Basically, it’s your astrological tool kit, and it can’t be replicated more than once in thousands of years. This is why we astrologers are so darn insistent about the need for you to either dig your birth certificate out of that box of ancient paperwork in the back of your closet or get a copy of it from the county clerk’s office where you were born. Natal astrology, as interpreted by a professional astrologer, is done exactly and precisely for you and no one else. It shows your inherent traits, talents, and challenges. Comparing the planets’ current positions to their positions in your birth chart allows astrologers to help you understand the celestial trends at work in your life—and most importantly, how you can put each astrological energy to a positive, productive use.

Let’s take a look at the four main components of every astrology chart.

Planets The planets represent the needs or urges we all experience once we hop off the Evolutionary Express and take up residence inside a human body. For example, the Sun is your urge to shine and be creative, the Moon is your need to express emotions, Mercury is in charge of how you communicate and navigate, and Venus is all about who and what you love—and more importantly, how you love.

Signs The sign a planet occupies is like a costume or uniform. It describes how you’ll go about acting on your needs and urges. If you have Venus in fiery, impulsive Aries, for example, and you’re attracted to a complete stranger across the room, you won’t wait for them to come to you. You’ll walk over and introduce yourself the second the urge strikes you. Venus in intense, sexy Scorpio, however? Well, that’s a different story. In this case, you’ll keep looking at a prospective beloved until they finally give in, cross the room, and beg you to explain why you’ve been staring at them for the past couple of hours.

Llewellyn’s 2022 Sun Sign Book 17

Signs of the Zodiac The sign a planet is “wearing” really says it all. It’s the costume an actor wears that helps them act out the role they’re playing. It’s the style, manner, or approach you’ll use in each life department—whether you’re being creative on a canvas, gushing over a new lover, or applying for a management position. Each of the signs belongs to an element, a quality, and a gender, as follows.

Elements The four elements—fire, earth, air, and water—describe a sign’s aims. Fire signs are spiritual, impulsive energies. Earth signs are tightly connected to the material plane. Air signs are cerebral, intellectual creatures, and water signs rule the emotional side of life.

Qualities The three qualities—cardinal, fixed, and mutable—describe a sign’s energy. Cardinal signs are tailor-made for beginnings. Fixed energies are solid, just as they sound, and are quite determined to finish what they start. Mutable energies are flexible and accommodating but can also be scattered or unstable.

Genders The genders—masculine and feminine—describe whether the energy attracts (feminine) or pursues (masculine) what it wants.

The Twelve Signs Here’s a quick rundown of the twelve zodiac signs.

Aries Aries planets are hotheads. They’re built from go-getter cardinal energy and fast-acting fire. Needless to say, Aries energy is impatient, energetic, and oh-so-willing to try anything once.

Taurus Taurus planets are aptly represented by the symbol of the bull. They’re earth creatures, very tightly connected to the material plane, and fixed— which means they’re pretty much immovable when they don’t want to act.

Gemini As an intellectual air sign that’s mutable and interested in anything new, Gemini energy is eternally curious—and quite easily distracted.

Gemini planets live in the moment and are expert multitaskers.

Cancer Cancer is a water sign that runs on its emotions, and since it’s also part of the cardinal family, it’s packed with the kind of start-up energy that’s perfect for raising a family and building a home.

Leo This determined, fixed sign is part of the fire family. As fires go, think of Leo planets as bonfires of energy—and just try to tear your eyes away.

Leo’s symbol is the lion, and it’s no accident. Leo planets care very much about their familial pride—and about their personal pride.

Virgo Virgo is mutable and therefore easily able to switch channels when necessary. It’s part of the earth family and connected to the material world (like Taurus). Virgo energy loves to work, organize, and sort, but most of all, to fix what’s broken.

Libra This communicative air sign runs on high. It’s cardinal, so when it comes to making connections, Libra is second to none. Libra planets are people pleasers and the honorary cruise directors of the zodiac, and are as charming and accommodating as the day is long.

Scorpio Scorpio is of the water element and a highly emotional creature. Scorpio energy is fixed, too, so feelings are tough to shake and obsessions are easy to come by. Planets in this sign are devoted and determined and can be absolutely relentless.

The Aries Personality Strengths, Talents, and the Creative Spark Giving others a chance to see the way your personality unfolds is a vital part of your individuality. After all, Mars is the ruler of your sign and you take leadership and decision-making seriously. You love being in charge.

Planets that appear in the first house of your birth chart accentuate the Aries traits describing your approach to life and your identity, which you are proud to demonstrate to those who are in your circle. The more planets that reside in your first house, the greater the tendency toward self-promotion. If someone says, “Show me what you’ve got,” you’ll give them the best expression of your gifts and more. This momentum may include taking the wheel, as driving and owning sports cars agrees with your style. Being action-oriented is a trait you’re proud of and one you are likely to pass on to your children with shining examples.

Your rapidly firing mind is a lot like your walk—energetic, engaging, and eager to arrive at your destination. Whether you’re seeking a quick solution to a problem that creeps up on you or working out a plan for a long-term project that needs major tweaking, your optimism elevates the spirit of the undertaking. Teams that work with you appreciate your no-nonsense approach to getting to the core of the plan and delegating assignments that mesh with the mission. As a self-proclaimed idea person, you want to identify strategies and the meat of the work but prefer to have others do the grunt work, like crunching numbers, keeping the timeline, and doing the research. Once you near the finish line, you may get bored. Celebrating success for a job well done is part of your style that allows you to share the limelight with others as you make the transition to a welcome new opportunity.

Intimacy and Personal Relationships Life is an adventure for you since you are not the type of person to settle into a routine that repeats the same cycle every week. Your socializing choices may include attending ball games, concerts, drag races, golf matches, parties, and weddings. You place considerable emphasis on having fun. With every attraction you might find in an amusement park, you’ll want to give your date, family member, or friend the ultimate enjoyable experience. Intimate partners and friends are likely to include members of the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and air signs

Taurus | February Overall Theme The Aquarius New Moon on the 1st puts the spotlight on your career in your solar tenth house and indicates your boss is all business about pivoting to new revenue streams or seeking federal aid to get the momentum back on track. Expect to be in demand for your analytical and fiscal expertise. Recruit a talented team to help.

Relationships Check on the health of a parent who is ailing on the 6th or grab some extra rest after an intense workweek leaves you exhausted. Celebrate Cupid’s month by attending an early Valentine’s Day party on the 4th with favorite friends. Entertain your children with a treat they’ll enjoy on the 18th, and don’t forget to save the 23rd for a romantic date with your partner.

Success and Money Meeting new people through networking helps you identify potential collaborators and teammates. Be sure to pass on resumes and contact information to hiring authorities, especially after Mercury goes direct on the 3rd. A lottery scratcher purchase around the 18th brings unexpected cash, allowing you to treat family and friends to an elegant dinner.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems Keep your wallet at home on the 11th, a day that could lead to impulse spending on something that is overpriced. Stressful encounters may come to a head at home base when the Full Moon in Leo on the 16th leaves an emotional footprint. Talk things out peacefully or you face more of the same on the 21st.

Gemini | January Overall Theme Matters of intimacy are on your mind this month with Venus and Pluto in your solar eighth house stoking the fires of passion. Mars throws in some spicy moments as it races through your solar seventh house of partners, inspiring the two of you to plan a private vacation around the 5th that allows you to ignite a few sparks in your romantic life. Welcome the year with a blast of enthusiastic energy.

Relationships The focus this month is on your family and partner. Gatherings cater to game night and movies everyone enjoys. Ask parents to join you, too.

Let the kids help with preparation of snacks and quick meals. Children share their thoughts on what they want most in the new year. Plan a surprise around their wishes on the 24th.

Success and Money Venus rules the money you make and how you spend it. You started the month with reserve cash from your holiday bonus, and entertain options for spending it. Part of you has your eyes on a new car and thinks the extra cash would make a good down payment. Don’t part with it while Venus is retrograde through January 29.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems Your ruling planet, Mercury, will turn retrograde on January 14 in Aquarius, and the Moon is in your solar first house as well—not a good day for signing a contract. Erratic Uranus goes direct on the 18th, after generating months of anxious moments while retrograde in your solar twelfth house.

Cancer | March Overall Theme With the New Moon in Pisces in your solar ninth house on the 2nd, you use creative energy to work on material you’re writing, hoping to incorporate research and development into relevant themes. A weekend retreat inspires you to write without interruption. You recognize that communication with teams improves goal congruity and nets a unified effort to meet timelines.

Relationships Celebrate success. Business associates and coworkers demonstrate productivity and deserve acknowledgment for a job well done. Medical professionals show a special interest in your health improvement on the 24th. Cherish a romantic interlude with your partner around the 7th, with Venus and Mars in Aquarius and your solar eighth house.

Success and Money Raises or bonuses are on the agenda after the middle of the month. Use a portion of your windfall to seed a short vacation or purchase an item on your wish list. Your creative way with words pays off in bringing new work your way and stabilizes your desire for a steady paycheck. Listen to your intuition. Compete for the new project.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems If all you do is talk about work problems that are on your mind on the 6th, you’ll end up having words with your significant other, who prefers a lighthearted agenda. A lunch date could hit a rocky road on the 7th, leading to hurt feelings. A phone call from a sibling on the Full Moon in Virgo on the 18th could bring up old baggage. Punt on heavy discussions.

Leo 113

The Leo Personality Strengths, Talents, and the Creative Spark Your Sun sign has an affinity for royalty and favors purple tones, magentas, and rich blues in your color scheme. Your personality sparkles with drama and daring while you bring good vibrations to your family, friends, and associates. The Sun rules your sign and the fifth house of adventure, fun, games, social life, children, lovers, dating experiences, freelancing, sports, exercise, romantic interludes, speculation, risk-taking, and entrepreneurial enterprises. You have a flair for individualism, and what you express complements your magnetic personality in displaying the qualities most affiliated with Leo. Those attributes include a cando attitude, pride of accomplishment, entertaining and socializing skills, cherishing your love interests, leadership, loyalty, recreational pursuits, and a fascination with the big picture. Many of you present a dramatic picture to the world, wearing expensive, fashionable clothing, plus elegant hair and jewelry that makes a statement to complete your look.

The planets you have in your fifth house describe the range of emotions and the diverse creative and recreational activities that interest you.

Many Leos are hard-core sports fans and may be either an active participant or a spectator. For others, the world of entertainment and showmanship drives your passion. You are a creature of habit—if you dance, it is a hot pursuit. Yours is the second fixed sign and the second fire sign of the zodiac. Your magnanimous spirit attracts others who are impressed by your enthusiasm. Leos come in two distinct personality styles: exuberant Lions who want their share of the limelight and the more reserved yet equally powerful Cats who bask in glory in a more subtle way. If a parent, you are supportive and enthusiastic about your children’s interests and enjoy sharing their accomplishments with others.

Intimacy and Personal Relationships Finding the right partner is worth every bit of the effort you expend in your search. Once you find “the one,” you bubble over with enthusiasm to tell your family and friends you’re in love. Every moment spent with the object of your affection prompts you to care more about your partner and look for ways to say “I love you.” Romantic gestures are your specialty: passionate love notes, intimate candlelit dinners, getaway weekends, and movie dates to see romantic films. Leos typically get

Leo | April Overall Theme A New Moon occurs twice in your chart this month: in your solar ninth house in Aries on the 1st and in your solar tenth house of career matters in Taurus (the year’s first Solar Eclipse) on the 30th. The Full Moon in Libra on the 16th occurs in your solar third house, generating lively discussions in your neighborhood. Electronic media is a possible hot topic due to implementation of innovative upgrades.

Relationships In-laws, people at a distance, and family members are in the spotlight this month. You can take that much desired getaway now to meet up with them. You’ll have better success in scheduling lunches with friends or planning a special event with them receiving excellent support from Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. Quality time with family opens up on the 18th.

Success and Money An infusion of cash helps with planned organizational expansion, alerting you to upcoming announcements about available positions. Be sure to apply if the opportunities are a good match for your skill set. Look for action after the Solar Eclipse in Taurus on the 30th.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems Don’t get caught up in workplace gossip on the 4th, when the Moon in Taurus lands in your solar tenth house. Defuse rumors related to candidate selections if you know that no announcements have been made.

You and spouse deal with tense discussions on the 25th over unpleasant topics. “I’m sorry” is a powerful healer. Use it.

The Virgo Personality Strengths, Talents, and the Creative Spark Your intelligent Sun sign presides over the sixth house of work, daily environments and routines, health, pets, colleagues, alternative medicine, workouts, nutrition, certain medications, herbs, spices, your kitchen’s utility, pets the size of dogs or smaller, vitamins, efficiency of output, bodyworkers, and assimilation. Mercury rules your mentally driven sign, and many of you seek employment in communication-oriented careers, fact-finding, libraries, patient advocacy, publications, massage, editing, and problem-solving or administrative roles. Virgos take a hands-on approach to whatever needs attention and thrive on systems that keep them organized and cross-referenced. Many Virgos make good space organizers or feng shui consultants, while others prefer the healing fields, massage, and veterinary medicine. Those of you who love to cook like state-of-the art equipment and may excel as the top toque in your place of employment or at home. Yours is a sign that moves through processes and does it well. Virgo rules the bowels and intestines; digestion problems bother some of you, while others display signs of hypochondria, vitamin overdose, or germ phobia, as well as the extreme end of the spectrum of messiness. Recent health care advice on managing the COVID19 pandemic was right up your alley.

Virgo is the second of three earth signs, the others being Taurus and Capricorn. One of your strengths is that you notice all the details, much like Gemini, the other mutable sign that shares rulership with Mercury.

Very little escapes your sharp mind, allowing all of the parts to come together to form the big picture. Organization is one of your talents. You like to make lists and develop a plan to get your work environment in tip-top shape, allowing you to navigate your assignments smoothly and efficiently. Business management comes naturally to you, allowing you to analyze practices, procedures, and systems to keep operations running with continuous improvement. You excel at communication of all types, making you an attractive candidate for positions in large or small organizations and in careers that give you the lead in preparing correspondence, proofreading material for publishing, and writing reports.

Virgos enjoy taking charge and looking for whatever needs attention, using systems that keep them on top of work and social scheduling.

Virgo | August Overall Theme Start off the month with one big romantic blast. A major theme is intimacy. On the 1st, the Moon in devoted Virgo trines transiting Mars and Uranus in sexy Taurus and sextiles emotional Venus in Cancer, favoring loving moments. That combination exudes a romantic tone. Bring out the candles, chill a bottle of fine wine, and dine decadently at home.

Relationships Your interest in starting your own business introduces you to an exciting seminar with entrepreneurs on the weekend of the 10th, confirming your perceptions about being your own boss. You gain insight from this new network and commit to working on your business plan. Invitations for fun and games thrill your children.

Success and Money The wheels turn as you examine the asset column in your financial picture. Your pile of cash is growing and tempting you to invest what you’ll need to start a business. True to your cautious nature, you’re making a list of the pros and cons before taking the plunge. Oh how you love the idea of being your own boss!

Pitfalls and Potential Problems Lightning-bolt energy strikes when Uranus in Taurus goes retrograde on August 24 in your solar ninth house until January 22, 2023. Aspects to transiting Venus in Leo could indicate hurtful relationship discoveries.

Depending on planetary placements in your natal chart, some Virgos may break up with a partner or receive news of the death or illness of someone close in a distant location.

resentment, or blocks to progress that keep you from acknowledging others’ feelings and calling a truce if you are rehashing family history that includes hurtful incidents. On January 14, Mercury makes its first retrograde station of the year in Aquarius and your solar fifth house of romance, children, and social life. Be on the lookout for mixed messages regarding dates, travel, and plans with your children’s school or sports plans, which are subject to change with little notice. Remaining in your solar fifth house this year is Jupiter, the planet of expansion, travel, and adventure, in Aquarius.

Uranus in Taurus has been retrograde since August 19, 2021, and turns direct in your solar eighth house of joint income, debt, and estate matters on January 18. Wouldn’t it be great if this shift leads to unexpected monetary windfalls, a promotion, or the completion of investment transactions that have been on hold? Neptune in Pisces occupies your solar sixth house of daily routines, health, and nutrition, reminding you to be vigilant of any shifts in how you are feeling and schedule timely medical appointments. Minimize workplace stress by addressing matters that come up rather than burying them and letting the consequences fester. Apply your powerful skills of people management and tact in 2022 as you step into a world of unlimited possibilities.

Jupiter With the exception of a retrograde and a sign-change period in 2022, Jupiter occupies your solar sixth house in Pisces until December 20, when it moves into Aries for a yearlong adventure in 2023. Each member of your sign is going to benefit from Jupiter’s presence in this ultrabusy house as you examine the strengths and shortcomings of coworkers, organize your personal and work space, adapt to organizational changes, and meet newcomers to your networks. As you contemplate goals, Jupiter stimulates activity related to them and supports the successful ventures you desire related to collaboration, health improvement, and weight management. Jupiter stimulates hanging on to unwanted pounds, if you forget to monitor your diet and cut back on eating rich foods, especially sugar. Add new exercise programs to meet this challenge. On July 28 Jupiter will turn retrograde in Aries and your solar seventh house of partners, moving back into Pisces and your solar sixth house on October 28.

Those of you born between September 22 and October 3 see the most activity from Jupiter while it is in Aries and occupies your solar seventh house. You’ll enjoy harmonious relationships with existing partners and

Libra | June Overall Theme Your most memorable days this month revolve around successful encounters at the workplace, interaction with your boss, and team performance. For some Libras, the spotlight is on education, communication, increased local travel, and neighborhood events. Stay flexible to accommodate sudden news about a child as Mercury stations to move direct in Taurus on the 3rd, and Saturn goes retrograde in Aquarius on the 4th.

Relationships With Venus in Taurus and your solar eighth house for most of the month, you and your significant other share intimacy and lovingly touch each other’s hearts and souls. Mars in Aries and your solar seventh house brings passionate encounters to the mix. Siblings contact you frequently and touch base to share family news or make summer plans.

Participate joyfully.

Success and Money Nothing is better than challenging work assignments to get your passion flowing, with the prospect of successful accomplishments. From the beginning to the end of June, your work environment shines with possibilities, including a focus on collaboration. Work quality boosts morale.

New contracts replace outmoded practices with winning solutions.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems Between June 15 and 18, tension and arguments affect household relationships, including harmony with children who have unreasonable expectations about parental responsibilities. You may be forced to cancel plans to travel on the 28th due to work priorities, leading to family disappointments. Discuss the situation with affected parties and ask for understanding.

Choose bold designs and striking colors to pick up the energy in strategic places in your home. Efficiency in the undertaking gives you the time to take a well-deserved vacation around the 24th.

Relationships Redecorating delights family members, especially your children, who take pride in new bedroom accommodations and excitedly select options for making a statement with new furniture and accessories.

Sharing a family project strengthens bonds, making each of you a stakeholder in your home’s appearance. Be sure to consider feng shui conventions.

Success and Money As long as you start your projects before Mercury goes retrograde in Gemini on the 10th, you’ll savor the enthusiasm that comes from seeing your efforts come to life. Goodwill and festive touches flourish when you attend a company-sponsored holiday event on the 7th with your significant other.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems An unanticipated setback occurs on the 5th when you hear from a relative at a distance. Phone calls follow with suggestions for pending action as facts unfold. The Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on the 16th falls in your solar first house, bringing critical information to light and affecting travel decisions. Watch spending on the 18th, especially if building costs are subject to increases.

Relationships Focus on the interests of your children, scheduling bonding time and planning favorite outings and entertainment venues with them. If you work with students or coach children’s sports, the calendar fills up with project assignments and scheduled games. Initiatives that support teachers’ needs inspire you to host an event to help fund the cost of supplies.

Ask parents to join you in honoring educators.

Success and Money You start and end the month with excellent money vibes and abundant ideas on how to spend it and share it with deserving individuals and groups. Budget for planned household maintenance. Purchasing power works favorably for you on the New Moon in Capricorn on January 2.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems Get travel booked and documents signed before Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius on January 14, when the Moon in Gemini opposes your Sun in your solar first house, a good day for keeping a low profile.

After disrupting your solar sixth house of work with chaotic moments since August, erratic Uranus goes direct on the 18th.

Relationships Some of your favorite people have a starring role this month, starting with your dentist, so make an important appointment. Then enjoy a romantic date with a love relationship on the 14th. Join children in favorite pastimes, a trip to the zoo, or a fall adventure like a corn maze.

Success and Money Work collaboration brings successful outcomes that include earning more money. You turn a corner this month in breaking out of deficit mode, a holdover from painful pay cuts over the last two years. The Solar Eclipse in Scorpio conjunct Venus on the 25th occurs in your work setting, bringing a raise in line with last month’s decision to increase pay levels.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems A date on the 7th could be costly when car trouble ruins plans. The Full Aries Moon on the 9th could bring disappointing news about a child’s grades. Mars in loquacious Gemini makes a retrograde station in your solar fifth house on the 30th, affecting social plans and triggering misunderstandings with a lover.

siblings or cousins that have been living under similar constraints. As the year begins, Venus, the love planet, is retrograde in Capricorn and your solar eleventh house of friendships, groups, and goals. If you’re a single Pisces, you may find that a relationship with a casual friend takes a romantic turn. You had the company of several Capricorn planets in this house in recent years and have only Pluto in late degrees of Capricorn left there now to help you work through any karmic conditions associated with groups or friendships.

The first planet to turn retrograde this year is Mercury, the planet of communication, on January 14 in Aquarius and your solar twelfth house of seclusion, private matters, healing, and charity. The signal to move ahead with anticipated work plans will be muted, complicated by the presence of transiting Saturn in Aquarius while it also occupies your complex solar twelfth house. Saturn, the zodiac’s taskmaster, comes with a set of personal restrictions that impede a fast recovery from either physical or mental health issues emanating from economic shortages resulting from the pandemic’s toll on the planet. If your job was on the line or your hours were reduced, start a search for new employment opportunities as you broaden your field of expertise.

Jupiter Lucky you, Pisces, since Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is in your sign all year. With the exception of a retrograde and a sign-change period, the mind-expanding planet occupies Pisces and your solar first house for most of the year, until December 20, when it moves into Aries for all of 2023. What a good place to be if you’re launching an enterprise, inventing products, starting a new job, or improving your health or self-image.

With a few entrepreneurial ideas in the pipeline, you could increase the value of your assets and add generous increases to your savings. Investors may catch the wave and come forward to sign agreements for your services. Travel may be part of the scene again. If you stay with your firm, enjoy recognition from authority figures for past efforts, even if work changes significantly. Give independent consulting a whirl or accept part-time assignments that help you pay the bills, especially if COVID19 cutbacks reduced your salary and led to a change in duties and your work schedule. Jupiter travels rapidly through Pisces until May 10, when it moves into Aries and your solar second house of earned income. On July 28 Jupiter will turn retrograde in Aries, moving back into Pisces and your solar first house on October 28 until it goes direct on November

Pisces | December Overall Theme Make this your most memorable holiday month yet by recreating special traditions that delight your whole family. Pay homage to Neptune, your ruling planet, by funding a Christmas celebration complete with gifts and a delicious dinner for a family in need. The planet of charity and compassion goes direct in Pisces on the 3rd in your solar first house.

Relationships My, how you cherish your family and friends! Plan special gatherings during the period from the 24th to the 28th to show how much you love their company. Spend part of a day at a soup kitchen, having visitors and children tag along to share the holiday spirit with others in need. Feast on favorite meals and treats with your significant other and family on the 25th.

Success and Money Jupiter in your sign occupies your solar first house until the 20th, reminding you of the prosperity and good health you regained in this healing year. Good fortune smiled on your checkbook, with steady employment and increased earnings and savings. You reduced debt and manifested security, the primary goal on your wish list.

Pitfalls and Potential Problems On December 7 the year’s final Full Moon occurs in your solar fourth house conjunct retrograde Mars in Gemini, reminding you to watch out for flaring tempers among family members. Mercury goes retrograde in Capricorn on the 29th in your solar eleventh house of groups and goals, a good time to reflect but not act on developing plans for the new year.
